Unit193Oh, that's awesome for another reason, now I can file bugs against it, since I have an account and all.  Of course, there's still the fact I don't use it, but alas.08:00
elfyfile bugs against what?08:05
Unit193xfdashy, it moved from github to Xfce's infra, so it's in their git and bugzilla. \o/08:06
elfyoic08:06
elfyforgot I had that here - don't use it either08:10
Unit193I got one for a bug ochosi convinced me to file, still hasn't been fixed.  Only opened in 2013 so young in terms of Xfce.08:11
elfy:)08:12
Unit193bluesabre: Hrm, how about moving daily builds to https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/ppa to clear staging out for, well, staging?08:40
bluesabreUnit193: yeah, probably a good idea for most of the daily builds we have in there10:44
bluesabrefeel free to do the honors :)10:44
bluesabrebrainvvash: I'll take a crack at the bug this evening to see if I figure anything out10:45

flexiondotorgHello guys.16:13
flexiondotorgJust wondering how your testing is going?16:13
knomeflexiondotorg, please ask on #ubuntu-quality and see the tracker results16:13
flexiondotorgknome, OK. I'll go then. Was just interested to have a chat with the guys here to see if there is anything common in our testing.16:15
knomewe try to keep the common stuff to the quality channel for the benefit of everybody16:15
ochosiflexiondotorg: haven't gotten round to testing at all, too much work atm :/16:17
ochosiwhat i heard was mixed16:18
ochosibut as knome said, the tracker should bear some insights16:18
* flexiondotorg wants to acknowledge ochosi but is scared off by knome 16:18
knomeflexiondotorg, no need to be scared of me... i won't bite you16:19
knome...or if i do, it won't hurt16:19
knomeexcept maybe a little16:19
drcYou do know that "knome" is Finnish for "big fuzzy cudly teddy=bear", right?16:19
Unit193Hah.16:35
slickymasterWorkodd, always thought that knome was Finnish to polar bear16:38
elfyanyone any idea why we don't test encrypted installs? 16:58
elfyalso anyone any idea why we don't test installs from the livesession? 16:59
Unit193I think the general idea was something about Mainbuntu testing the first, and since it doesn't really have anything to do with DEs.  Or, just lower manpower so they get ignored.  We/I used to cycle which one is picked.  Don't test the live session?  If we're supposed to do it from the install screen with no DE, I've always done them wrong.17:02
elfylol17:03
elfyinstall's are from the Install option at the second menu (one we had black background)17:03
elfyand I can understand the why not encrypt - just thought I'd ask17:04
elfythe only issue being that while Main tests it - they don't care about milestone till Final Beta17:04
Unit193Well, that core upgrade task I used encryption, because making it as hard for myself is awesome.  Found the bug where you couldn't enter your pass on the splash screen. :D17:05
elfy:)17:06
elfyfailing install testcases because install media eject fail17:07
slickymasterWorkyeah, I've marked two as failed also, elfy 17:07
elfyyep saw17:08
elfyjust sorting some sticks out to test on h/w17:08
elfyjjfrv8: you passed 64bit entire disk on h/w - did it ask to eject media? 17:09
drcYesterday's daily did not, haven't tried today's.17:11
elfyafaik it should fail to do that 17:11
drcTomorrow is Final Beta, no?17:11
elfytomorrow is final beta release to the world - today is testing it 17:12
drcSo, today's (really yesterday's, Date/Time stamp = 23.54) daily is Final Beta...unless things go really wrong?17:18
elfydrc: notwithstanding any rebuilds - there's been one already and I'm expecting another17:22
elfyI expect that one to be not released drc 17:23
drcOK, I'll just wait for Final Beta tomorrow :)17:24
elfy:)17:25
drcor maybe 16.04 :)17:26
elfylol17:26
ochosielfy: the media-eject problem is global though, right?18:09
elfyyep 18:10
elfyochosi: you'll be pleased to know that afaik there are no Xubuntu issues that'll cause fails or rebuilds this time :)18:10
ochosiindeed, that's great :)18:10
elfyI know I am;)18:10
ochosigo team!18:10
ochosias soon as i finish my work tonight i'll try to sync b2 and do a test18:11
elfyI've done some vm and a h/w test 18:11
ochosiunfortunately i have a really busy week until tomorrow18:11
ochosistupid deadlines18:11
elfyochosi: not sure there's much point tbh 18:11
elfyyou can look - but it's possible we'll see rebvuild anyway 18:12
elfythat said - maybe a look to make sure there are no elliptical circles - I'd not see those :)18:13
ochosioh ok18:15
ochosihehe18:15
ochosisure18:15
ochosithose are what i'm after primarily ;)18:15
elfyochosi: just got an update to gmb - crash on quit with SIGSEGV in g_signal_emit_valist()19:04
ochosioh ok?19:05
ochosiyou mean a new crash?19:05
elfyseems so19:05
elfyand why does this thing randomly play tracks from random albums as default 19:06
ochosihm, maybe we've had that issue / discussion before19:06
ochositbh i dunno right off the top of my head19:06
ochosii wouldn't mind actively searching for alternatives, but so far no apparent ones have come to mind19:07
elfybrainwash reported that in december19:09
elfyno good asking me for an alternative 19:10
Unit193clementine.19:11
ochosiUnit193: again with the qt?19:11
elfyUnit193: :p19:12
Unit193ochosi: That'd be elfy's choice. :P19:12
ochosiyeah yeah, heard that one over and over by him :)19:12
Unit193Nightingale is the one that's installed (though yes, not used.)19:12
elfyochosi: indeed :p hence it'sno good asking me ... 19:19

* elfy goes looking for a new name to him19:25
ochosiwat, 2016??19:25
ochosimaybe quodlibet would deserve another look19:27
ochosianyway, i'll think about this again when we're starting our engines for 15.1019:27
elfyha - found one :p19:30
ochosihm, it's actually quite good (first impression)19:39
ochosiquite complex though, shitload of plugins19:39
elfyquodlibet? 19:39
ochosiyup19:39
elfyI'm happy enough to look at it in anger 19:40
ochosias long as you don't look back in anger ;)19:41
elfyoh I never do that nowadays :p19:41
ochosithe UI takes a bit of getting used to19:48
ochosithe play togglebutton is a bit cumbersome19:49
ochosiand the hidden progress-scale during playback too19:49
elfystill scanning ... 19:50
elfymmm 19:52
elfyignores xpsf playlists19:53
Unit193elfy: Moved the daily builds out of staging, that way they won't conflict and it should be more clear which is being tested.19:56
elfyinto? 19:57
elfyUnit193: ^^ 19:58
Unit193https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages daily builds.19:58
elfyok - ta19:59
elfyand I guess I should grab that one - then I'd be in the same state as before19:59
elfyochosi: I'll see how I get on with it on a day when music on for 16 hours 20:00
Unit193OK, just keeping you up to date.  Staging is now as the title says, stuff staged to go into Xubuntu.20:00
elfyUnit193: yep - makes sense 20:01
elfybut the shimmer daily stuff staying put I assume20:01
Unit193Yeah, https://launchpad.net/~shimmerproject/+archive/ubuntu/daily is already a PPA.20:02
Unit193s/PPA/daily/20:02
elfyyep20:03
elfyso - only xfpm in daily ? 20:03
Unit193bluesabre: Disabled the daily xfpm for utopic and trusty, upower stuff.20:04
Unit193(As you can see, also fixed the build.)20:11
elfyoh 20:22
elfynow I'm back and refreshed I can see I should grab that ppa too :D20:23
elfyok, I assume that I'm now up to date20:28
elfylooking like the eject issue will stay - so carry on testing or not as the case maybe20:55
elfyas it stands I'm happy enough as long as ochosi doesn't find elliptical circles and he's happy20:55
ochosiyeah, need a few more mins until i can get down to testing20:56
elfyI should be able to get a few in tomorrow early afternoon on hardware20:56
elfyand there could be rebuilds yet ... 20:58
elfyI'll worry about it tomorrow if I see 'rebuilding' :)20:58
gnumbknutsUnit193: Hi, you may remember me talking the other day about GMB on #xubuntu, and I read now on this channel that you are discussing alternative audio player. Well I removed GMB and then installed Decibel http://decibel.silent-blade.org/ . You may want to consider this player for inclusion into Xubuntu ? It is very light-weight, the lastest version 1.08 can even play .wav (PCM) files, which suits me fine.22:20
Unit193!info decibel vivid22:21
ubottuPackage decibel does not exist in vivid22:21
Unit193!info decibel-audio-player vivid22:21
ubottudecibel-audio-player (source: decibel-audio-player): simple and nice music player for the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.06-3 (vivid), package size 243 kB, installed size 1496 kB22:21
Unit193Depends: python:any (>= 2.6.6-7~), python-gtk2 (>= 2.6.3-2), python-glade2 (>= 2.6.3-2), python-mutagen (>= 1.10), python-gst0.10 (>= 0.10), python-dbus, gstreamer0.10-plugins-base, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good22:21
knomelatest release on 201122:21
Unit193It's not up to me.22:22
knome(only, at least)22:23
gnumbknuts1.08 is not in the Ubuntu repos, but I installed from the source. it has a few bugs but works fine22:23
knomebut 1.08 is from 2011, it's 4 years old.22:23
knomethat doesn't promise a lot.22:23
drcand still has bugs?22:24
knomelikely.22:24
geniiYes, that's not encouraging22:24
knomehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/decibel-audio-player22:26
knome50 open bugs22:26
knomeand 4 for the ubuntu package22:26
gnumbknutsWow! I didn't realise it had so many bugs. Then perhaps it is not a good idea :(22:33
drcWhat brought about the search for a replacement for GMB?22:54
ochosignumbknuts: if it were *that* easy we might have found an alternative already22:54
ochosidrc: just some issues, mostly a bug in 15.04 that makes it crash frequently upon closing it22:55
drcbummer :) (yes, I've never been a fan of GMB :)22:55
nerdistmonk<<loves smplayer22:55
ochosialso, seems like default apps (like music players) are highly contested/controversial subjects, almost every cycle ppl complain about *something*22:56
ali1234gmb is pretty bad though22:56
drcBut the dev can't so anything (iirc, he's always been very cooperative?)22:56
gnumbknutsdrc: I needed a player that could play .wav(PCM) format, as much of my audio library was ripped from vinyl.22:56
ali1234how can i make it sort tracks by album and then track number by default?22:56
ochosidrc: i think he's looking at it, haven't had time to follow up22:56
ochosianyway, i'm out22:57
ochosinight everyone22:57
* drc really soesn't care what the defaults are, he'll just replace them with Exaile and Smplayer.22:57
* bluesabre is grateful to Unit19323:03
gnumbknutsOne dislike I have about most audio-players (Windows included),  is the way in which they try or organise  the library. All I want is for the browser to show me exactly the same taxonomic layout as I have sorted the file on the HDD.23:04
knomegnumbknuts, this is not the channel to discuss that though23:06
ali1234decibel does not appear to support mpris, which means it won't work with the sound indicator23:06
gnumbknutsknome: Yes you are right , sorry, I shall refrain.23:07
ali1234wait, it does support it23:07
knomeali1234, but it's pretty bad though *grins*23:08
ali1234it *looks* better than gmb in screen shots23:08
knomei disagree.23:08
ali1234gmb could almost be a KDE app it's that badly laid out23:09
knomeali1234, ok, you can stop now.23:09
ali1234seriously though, the reason why i complain so much is because of dev who constantly claim that nobody ever complained about their software before23:20
ali1234"everyone else thinks it is fine"23:20
ali1234so i complain loud and often in order to prevent that weak excuse23:20
knomebut your complaints are in the wrong channel.23:21
ali1234no point complaining where there's no developers23:21
knomenobody here is the gmb developer23:21
ali1234but everybody here chooses the default applications23:22
knomedoes that imply they think there is nothing wrong with them?23:22
ali1234no, it does imply they think that the defaults are the best available though23:22
knomebut they've said they aren't23:23
knomeand that they are open for all suggestiong23:23
ali1234suggestions don't work, everyone will suggest something different23:23
knomethat doesn't mean they want to hear how much wrong somebody else thinks there is wrong with gmb23:23
knomeso whining about the current default does?23:23
ali1234i vote for whatever is the second most popular choice after gmb23:23
knomeyour concern is heard.23:24
Unit193There has been major complaints in the past against gmb, first chance to actually get rid otf it. :D23:24
knomeUnit193, not really the first chance23:24
knomeUnit193, it has been discussed before23:25
knomebut nobody who supports the alternatives has ever been willing to do a real application comparison23:25
knomeand explain why X is better than gmb23:25
Unit193Heh, right...23:25
knomesimply mocking gmb doesn't count as arguments.23:25
geniiThere's criticism, and then there's constructive ctiticism.23:26
geniimeh typos23:26
drcOK, just for the sake of argument (in the purest sense), what are the criteria the -team is looking for in an audio player?  Serious question, I don't know.23:26
knomedrc, it's been laid out before...23:27
drcok, where can I look?23:27
knomedrc, will you propose an audio player and do a thorough comparison?23:27
knomeor are you just making me dig up the link once again?23:27
ali1234is there a list of features that any candidate must have?23:28
knomeali1234, will you propose an audio player and do a thorough comparison?23:28
ali1234at least then we could rule out a few23:28
ali1234what basis should i compare them on?23:29
knomeali1234, the required features are in a wikipage and they have also been posted on the development mailing list several times23:30
drcknome: This is the latest I can find on the wiki  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Quantal/DefaultMediaPlayer23:33
drcis it still valid?23:33
knomeyes23:33
drcThank you.23:33
ali1234mpris support should be on that list23:34
knomeali1234, feel free to set up a new wikipage for W23:34
ali1234that doesn't seem to be possible yet23:38
knomejust create a page that follows the template and you are fine. you can replace the codename with W for now23:38
